Hi everyone. Today is the start of the August CAS Christmas Challenge, hosted by the talented Julia. She has chosen the challenge ...

What a beautiful night sky you created with your Brushos, Loll! The wonderful silhouette die cuts of the village below and Santa in his sleigh with the reindeer really stand out against it! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteThat's such a great sky and it looks great with the black. I haven't had my brushos out for a long time. Might have to try and change that xx
ReplyDeleteOh, WOW, Loll! Such a gorgeous peek at Santa's secret delivery! Hey, is there some salt involved in your fabulous sky? Or is it just the magic of Brushos? SO gorgeous!

I love the colors of your evening sky! Fantastic work with watercolor and water. All the details give your background a unique character. This background is perfect for the image of Santa's sleigh flying over the city. A wonderful Christmas card and beautiful inspiration.
